I am using it. I have heavily modified original Gunter Magin's patches.
I am using gdb 4.17 to control 68360. I can dig my patches if necessary,
however, I suspect it may be something else: 

It is quite possible that your stuff is actually working fine and 
the problem is that you did not initialize all necessary (and there are 
a lot of them)peripheral registers corectly.
